25 vinyl pressings of 7 Nation Army are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 2003 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 2003, in UK. One of them is XL Recordings XLS 162, released May 13, 2003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XLS 162, XLLP 162 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLS 162 A-1 DAMONT D and XLS 162 B-1 DAMONT L. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
